Can I turn off Features Category with OP modules and have working site?

If I turn off the Features category with all the OP modules will the OpenPublish work as a normal Drupal site?

I am hoping to isolate areas of the installation. I'm not saying anything is glitchy. I'm just thinking some of the stuff I just don't need.

If I have a basis to work from I can pick and choose areas of interest that I need on the site.

Example...

I don't want the videos at the bottom of content, which are pulled by filters I'd like to understand better.

I put up an article on immigration, and the videos came up about programming. LOL
